Line election was for secretary of state,
comptroller, attorney general, state treas
urer,, state engineer and surveyor and
members of the state legislature, besides
which local tickets were in the field in
various cities. Governor Hills vote in
1885 vas sol 1865, while Davenport's
(Rep.) was AGO, 33l, Bascom pro- 3d.
S67, and Jones (Greenback) 2,l30. The
whole vote, including the scattering, was
l,O26, 229.
However it may ha We been elsewhere,
1t was thought IN the West that the con.
test over the principal office, secretary of
state. would be close between Frederick
Cook D.), the present incumbent, and
Fred ID. Grant (R.). Even the earliest
bulletins received here, though they gave
but meagre returns, soon indicated clearly
that Grant was scarcely holding his own.
For instance, one of the earliest bulletins
received gave this information:
Fifty-one election districts in New York
state outside of New York and Kings
counties give Cook 1902, Grant 1852,
Huntington l03, George l62. The same
districts in 1885 gave Hill $40, Daven-
port l0,628, Bascom 1868.
Soon afterward another bulletin an
nounced that the New York Herald esti-
mated that Cook would lead Grant by
$4,000 aud the Grant stock in the pools at
once fell below freezing point. With
some few exceptions the early reports
showed that while Cooks vote fell some
what below the Hill vote of 1885, the
Grant vote showed a corresponding drop
from that cast for Davenport in the same
year, indicating that the diversion from
Democracy to the labor parties was coun-
te%rbalanced by the diversion of Republi-
cans to the Prohibition party.
A little later in the evening the New
York Sun claimed a Democratic plurality
in the state of $4,000, and the NetoS Of
10000. Buffalo indicated Democratic
gains The election of Col. Fellows over
MIR. Nicoll for district attorney of New
4ork City was indicated early in the even
inc.
The first complete returns were received
from New \ ork City with the following
result: Cook, loo, ITO; Grant, 54,S79:
George, 35,420; Hall, 4, $50; Huntington,
10, lS6, and Beecher, &c. To give THE
LEADER readers al idea of the compare
Hills vote in 1885 in New York City was
i2S,6o3, Davenport's 10, 1854, Bascom's
l,2l5, and Jones l56. This shows a
ldiiibS Ou VI -Z,Ozi III IIle DGmOCThJlC
vote and 20, 485 in the Republican vote,
while MIR. Cooks plurality is still As, 1877.
Kings county complete, including
Brooklyn, gives Grant As, 76l, Cook
55, 500, George Is. 2l6, Huntington 2.OO7.
Hall, l,03S and Preston AZ. This shows
a loss of a little less than 1000 to the
Republican and Democratic candidates.
A Herald bulletin at 10 o'clock says
New York gas gone Democratic by Is,
majority. The San states that Georges
vote will not touch 60, 900 in the whole
state.
The latest and most definite returns re
ceived up to the hour of going to press
were as follows:
SYRACUSE, Nov. S.-The city complete
gives Belden (Rep.) for congress 1900
plurality. Belden is elected.
So far as known, the new legislature
will stand: Assembly Republicans 10,
Democrats So; senate-Republican l9,
Democrats l3.
Thelast assembly had IA Republicans,
81 Democrats; senate 20 Republicans.
IL Democrats.
The returns indicate that of the Henry
George and the increase in Prohibition
vote about 10000 has been drawn from
the Republican and 20, 600 t. om the Dem
ocratic party.
At 8 a. IN. the total estimated plurality
of Cook over Grant in the state is Is 900
to $4,000.
